Latest Two Harbors hotel reviews
lablover47 Says: They say historical tourism is big, and there's plenty of that in Two Harbors. The main thing is the Depot Museum, already mentioned by someone else, but there's also the "sandpaper museum." Sounds corny, but it's the building where the now-famous 3-M got its start. Someone...
acemj Says: You can park for free in front of the Visitor's Center of Gooseberry Falls pictured here. The Visitor's Center is air-conditioned and has bathroom facilities, a gift-shop, area information and makes a nice place to rest if you're tired from hiking around the falls.
acemj Says: The falls are great. From the Visitor's Center it's possible to visit the Upper and Lower Falls and do a little hiking on the rocks along the river and on the hilly paths above the rushing water. However, you might want to spend a little more time and hike a mile or so...
acemj Says: I haven't been to the Depot Museum in a long time, so I don't really remember a lot of details, but I do know that it focuses on mining, logging and shipping, the lifeblood industries of Two Harbors. The museum is in the former headquarters of the Duluth and Iron Range...
acemj Says: The Crusader II is on wooden stilts right next to the lighthouse in Two Harbors. It was built in 1939 by Ruben and Lars Hill of Larsmont, Minnesota and was christened by Crown Prince Olav of Norway. The Crusader II is just one example of the nearly 200 boats that were made...
acemj Says: A report by the Army Corps of Engineers in the late 19th century led to the construction of the lighthouse at Two Harbors. It was the conclusion of the report that the then Agate Bay needed more protection due to increased shipping traffic from the Ore Docks in the bay....

Betty's Pies: Good Pies and various home made meals
charlesracine Says: Good home made pies and food, though I think the cook has changed in 2009. It is still good but, not up to my memory or was it an off day for us?
Cup 'n' Saucer Tea and Coffee House: English tea time
lablover47 Says: This place is done up like an English tea house. Tea is served in flowered cups in flowered saucers, coffee in special mugs. There are wonderful scones, delicious cookies (made fresh each day) and great homemade soups and sandwiches. But for a special treat, if you notify...
The Vanilla Bean Cafe: Don't Miss their fine Coffees!!!!

Burgfresh Says: Pic. of lighthouse interesting light house, I'm not sure where though.
acemj Says: There are two relatively new blasted rock tunnels along Highway 61 north of Two Harbors. The first one you approach heading north, has a turnoff where you can park after exiting the tunnel and you can walk up a ramp and up around the outside of the rock tunnel. You'll want...
Hiway 61 is the only road up...
Burgfresh Says: Hiway 61 is the only road up the north shore, you can try to bike it but there are alot of cars on the road and it can get pretty narrow.The traffic can get awfully thick especially on weekends. But it is a very scenic drive, I suggest taking the scenic route from Duluth to...
acemj Says: There's not a ton of shopping to do here in Two Harbors, but Duluth is only a tad over 25 miles away and you can find all you need down there.
babybird Says: Just two elementary things:Hwy 61 runs right through the main drag of Two Harbors. This sometimes meanssome delays where the traffic can slow to a crawl if you are just passing through.When traffic is moving, watch yourself crossing this busy roadway. It is easy to get...
Ironic1 Says: Highway 61 goes right through downtown Two Harbors and there ain't no getting around it. Traffic piles up especially on summer weekends. Recently it took me 30 minutes to travel 3 miles when heading west into town from Betty's Pies.My advice: be patient and enjoy the...
acemj Says: Duluth is just a short drive south of Two Harbors and is the closest "big" city. You'll find a number of restaurants, hotels and shops in Duluth as well as miles of beautiful shoreline, some beautiful homes/mansions to gaze at and some interesting art and historical museums.
acemj Says: Just northeast of Split Rock Lighthouse, you'll come across Gold Rock, a beautiful outcropping along the shore of Lake Superior. It's a beautiful place for a photo stop, but it is also historically important as the site of the famous shipwreck of the Madeira in 1905. You can...
acemj Says: Split Rock lighthouse is about 40 minutes up Highway 61 (northeast) from Two Harbors. You'll pass by Gooseberry Falls State Park on the way and when you do, you'll know you're about half-way there. You can pay $8 per adult to visit the lighthouse itself or just $7 per car...
acemj Says: You see a lot of trees that look like this. The thin trunks and white bark that looks as if you could chip it off with your fingernails are characteristic of Aspen and Birch Trees. I took this picture on a trail in the Split Rock Lighthouse State Park. Does anyone know for...
